Fired paints and enamels are fine for Act of Courage beads so long as you are sure to use the lead-free versions of these products. I think that Thompson's has pulled all their lead colors, some of the Japanese enamels still contain lead but are labeled as such. If in doubt drop a note to the manufacturer.
It can be time consuming but you can do some seriously fun stuff with these things!
